Question

Which statement best describes what is happening in this model?

A) The electrons are floating to the top of the nuclei of metal atoms.

B) The electrons are sinking down between the nuclei of metal atoms.

C) The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.

D) The electrons are in fixed positions between the nuclei of metal atoms.

Answer 1

The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is (C) The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.

The explanation:

-The electrons then move freely throughout the space between the atomic nuclei. ... Metals are good conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electron sea are free to flow and carry electric current. Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.

1-Metals are good conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electron sea are free to flow and carry electric current.

2-Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.

3-Metals are shiny. Light cannot penetrate their surface; the photons simply reflect off the metal surface. However, there is an upper limit to the frequency of light at which the photons are reflected.
